Using the No. 1 overall pick on Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck on Thursday night.

“It’s a new era, it’s a new beginning,” first-time general manager Ryan Grigson said minutes after the selection. “Really, it’s exciting and we got our guy. He’s the one we feel is going to take us where we want to go with this thing. He shares the same vision that we all do, so we’re excited.”

Luck is the first player the Colts have selected No. 1 overall since taking Manning in 1998.

Robert Griffin III officially is a Washington Redskin after being selected No. 2 overall in the 2012 NFL Draft. ”He’s a natural leader. … You want guys to lead your football team,” Shanahan said of Griffin. “Everybody’s got their own way of doing things. Some guys are a little bit more serious. You’ve got to be yourself.”
